阅读下列短文，从每题所给四个选项（A，B，C，D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
When I was in junior high school, I was really a bad boy. My history teacher—Mr. Oven criticized me a lot because I was naughty in his class. By the end of the first semester, I’d had enough of his words and had decided that I would get my revenge on him.
The opportunity arose one morning when Mr. Oven was called to the office for a certain reason. While Mr. Oven left, my company Billy and I took Mr. Oven’s lunch bag from under his desk. I opened his sandwich and placed a worm in between the two slices of bread. We put it back and closed it. To keep it in memory, Billy took photos of the whole process. We laughed for weeks over
this.
Well, it all went south during Thanksgiving break. Billy’s mother found the pictures in his room, and demanded that he should tell her where these pictures were from. Billy told his mother the whole story, and Mr. Oven was informed. Not only was I punished from school for two weeks, but also I was kicked off the football and basketball team. Before I could return to school, I had to turn in a 1000-word essay on what I did and why I did that. I really felt embarrassed every time I saw Mr. Oven in the hallway for the rest of the school year. I felt a little regret that Mr. Oven left our school the next year.
21. How can you imagine Mr. Oven would act when he had his lunch?
A. He would be glad to eat his delicious sandwich with the worm.
B. He would eat it as usual when he had his sandwich.
C. He would cry out, shocked that the worm lay in his sandwich.
D. He would be very hungry when he found the worm in his sandwich.
22. The underlined sentence “Well, it all went south during Thanksgiving break.” in Paragraph 3 probably means .
A. Billy and I went south during Thanksgiving break.
B. All the students left on Thanksgiving break.
C. It was not until Thanksgiving break ended that the secret was let out.
D. All the students went south on Thanksgiving break.
23. Which one was NOT true according to the article?
A. He was kicked off the football and basketball team.
B. He had to eat the sandwich he had made for Mr. Oven.
C. He had to be punished to leave school for two weeks.
D. He had a write a 1000-word essay to admit his mistaken.
B
In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animal. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because
those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others often; we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning（按喇叭）or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for is to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.
24. The author feels sad sometimes because .
A. he has a soft heart
B. he relies much on others
C. some people pretend to be kind
D. some people fail to see the kindness in others
25. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?
A. They speed up to pass.
B. They waited with patience.
C. They tried their best to help.
D. They put on their flashlights too.
26. In this passage, the author advises us to .
A. handle problems by ourselves
B. accept help from others
C. admit our weakness
D. show our bravery
27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A Wheelchair Experience.
B. Weakness and Kindness.
C. Weakness and Strength
D. A Driving Experience
C
Who are these people rushing by you in the street? More than 215 million people now call America “home”, but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become “American” is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more often a kind of “side-by-side” living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives—such as in schools, business, and sports—but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home. This living “side-by-side” has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another. However, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in America. Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in churches, music, food, national groups, or newspapers.
28. More than 215 million people call America “home” because .
A. they buy their houses there
B. they settle there now
C. they get married there
D. they were born there
29. “Side-by-side” living style means .
A. making friends with native people
B. keeping their own customs while sharing American ones in certain areas
C. the groups of people who live nearby
D. that they get closer to American society
30. According to the passage, people in the USA .
A. share American customs and culture
B. live in a kind of “side-by-side” society
C. keep their own customs and habits firmly
D. make no choice to accept American customs
31. Which title of the following can BEST take the place of “Different Cultures in America”?
A. Advantages and Disadvantages
B. Different Customs and Habits
C. Home for the People
D. “Side-by-side” Living Style in America
D

Q&A
Question: You’re one of the best taxi drivers I have ever met. I know it’s not easy to be a taxi
driver, but I found that you’re very patient and always smile. 36
Answer: I believe being honest is one of the greatest gifts. It’s also what makes a man a good citizen.
I’ve been in the taxi business for thirty-five years, and I know there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxi drivers have to be tough to fight the New York traffic. 37 In fact, most of them are honest fellows. You can read in newspapers almost every week that a taxi driver turns in money or jewels people have left in their taxis. If they weren’t honest, you wouldn’t be reading those stories in newspapers.
One time in Brooklyn, I found a diamond ring in my taxi. I remembered helping a lady with luggage that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to look for her so as to return the ring to her. I didn’t get much “thank you”. 38 I think I felt better than she did.
39 Even if some customers are rude, I still try to be nice to them, and then they behave themselves.
People ask me about tips. As far as I know, practically everyone will give you something. I always try to be nice to everyone whether they tip or not. I believe in God and try to be a good member of my parish（教区）. I try to treat others like I think God wants me to. I have been trying this for a long time. 40
A. The longer I try, the easier it gets.
B. Can you tell me your attitude towards-the job?
C. One has to be brave enough to face anyone, including himself, and tell the truth.
D. Still, I felt good because I did what was right.
E. So people get the wrong impression that they are bad.
F. Some people gain their success not through their hard work but through dishonesty.
G. I have never had any trouble with my customers.

Love is Just A Thread

Possible version1:
Dear editor,
I am a senior student. I’m writing to tell you my opinion about whether students ought to be allowed to watch TV after school. I think it is right for us to watch TV after school.
On TV there are many interesting programmes, such TV plays, films and sports. By watching them, we can enrich our knowledge and enlarge our views, which we can’t learn in class. My English is not very good. I think watching TV is a good way to improve my English, especially
spoken English.
Besides, why shouldn’t we relax ourselves and have a good rest at home since we have so much work to do at school? Do you agree with me?
Yours sincerely,
Liu Qiang
Possible version2:
Dear editor,
I am a senior student. I’m writing to tell you my opinion about whether students ought to be allowed to watch TV after school. I don’t think it is right for us to watch TV after school.
In my opinion, watching TV is just a waste of time. We are students so we have a lot of homework to do. If we spend much time on TV, how can we finish our homework? Besides, we’ll get short-sighted if we spend too much time on TV every day. What’s more, I don’t think all the TV programmes are instructive. If we often watch them, we’ll form some bad habits. That’s very dangerous to us!
Do you agree with me?
Yours sincerely,
Liu Qiang
